He sells a calculator homework book that we use.

Just wanted to followup with you, here is an article about metal roofs you can read. as @Matt Gragg pointed out, yes, if you are by the ocean it can corrode a lot faster, but it depends on the material you use, the cheaper material will corrode and thats why you have to do your homework and see how much you want to spend. here is the article: http://www.metalroofing.systems/top-70-metal-roofi...

Do almost everything myself , even for personal ( non real estate investments such as my house , business, my kids houses ) I can't get contractors to show up , and if I can they won't give a written estimate , let alone a bid .

But you still can lose if you don't vet your potential partners and do your homework on them, their system, and the security (real estate) itself.

I guess I should start by introducing my self My name is Sergio I live in the awesome city of Phoenix, Az I came to the U.S 22 yrs ago from Colombia, I served honorably in the U.S Marines and I currently work in the oil and gas industry in the frozen state of ND some of my hobbies are riding my motorcycle, hiking, shooting at the range, salsa, bachata, vallenato dancing.Like almost every one I was influenced by Robert Kiyosaki's Rich dad Poor dad a few years ago and that set in motion a desire to get out of the rat race, I started working in the oil industry to get out off debt as prescribed by Dave Ramsey now a few years in to my oil field career I've accomplished some financial goals and now ready to dive in to the real state world so I can work for my self "minding my business" (forgot who said that but good quote) I like to focus on buy and hold rental property the residual income is something that is appealing to me, I guess my goal is to eventually stop "working" and spend more time with family and donate more of my time and money to my friends organization helping disable kids and under privilege families in Colombia.I hope this was a proper intro and it wasn't too long looking forward to one day being on the Bigger pockets podcast with Josh and Brandon and having photograph taken with Robert Kiyosaki.

Over the last 10 years the crime has increased and now I don't know that I would take my wife and kids due to the crime (including murders and kidnappings of not only nationalists but foreigners).  

HA Just kidding...

I want to sit down with them and go over the numbers, but this is an estate with 5 adult kids who want the $$$.

There will be food, music, goodie bags for the runners, 2-aid stations along the route along with an aid station at the start/finish line of the loop.The run itself benefits Kids Kickin' Cancer Soccer Club, which is a non-profit supporting kids battling childhood cancers.  

In real life, as I drive my  kids around to wherever, I comment on the houses for sale.
